Biffy Clyro are a good band but they have a few songs I don't care for.

Eminem also has some songs I don't like.

Cum on Everybody-It's a lame party track and it really doesn't fit the SSLP.

Fack-Why did Eminem write this song? This track is shit. Shit humor, shit rhymes, and a corny beat.

Speaking of Eminem, there are two albums of his that I just can't listen to: Encore and Recovery. Surprisingly, I'm quite OK with Relapse, which everyone seems to hate, because it's at least clear that Eminem was having fun on Relapse, and I kind of missed Slim Shady's ultraviolent adventures from the early material. But Recovery is just phenomenally boring, aside from "Cold Wind Blows", maybe. And as for Encore, I'm convinced that Eminem either was too stoned off his ass to care about what he was doing at the time (after all, there were reports of him bringing pills to the studio with him) or he made this album specifically to stop people from demanding new records from him, so that he could go off the radars and deal with his addiction (and given the fact that in the ending skit of Encore Eminem kills his audience and himself, it might just be the true intention). Either way, after this album we can be sure that Eminem is better off as a rapper who sometimes makes jokes than a comedian who also raps.

Nonsense is better than no sense at all.

As much as I like Queens of The Stone Age, I really don't care for much of Rated R. Apart from a few songs, the album just doesn't do it for me.

Big Zac Brown Band fan here.

I dislike "Chicken Fried" because of the Early-Installment Weirdness. They clearly hadn't found their musical style yet, and some of the lyrics are really cringey.

Also not sold on their current single "My Old Man". Way too slow, way too minimalistic, and it's hard to relate to a "my dad was awesome" kind of song when I had a very... flawed dad.

I may love Stratovarius, but I can't stand their song "Götterdämmerung (Zenith of Power)". Not that the rest of the Stratovarius album was any better, but for me that is their worst song.

Yes songs I dislike:

“The Revealing Science of God” (any time it seems like it’s finally going to start developing into something interesting, the largo Mellotron chords crescendo and were back to boredom again.)
“The Remembering” (like TRSOG, but twice as bad; 18 minutes of unending tedium)
“Release, Release” (Yes do one of Boston’s throwaway songs. Why?)
“Onward” (Yes do a John Denver ballad. Why × 2?)
“Arriving U.F.O.” (it’s at this point I thought they ought to start hiring outside songwriters. Seriously, guys?)
“Circus of Heaven” ([coughs up hairball])

To say nothing of the entire Big Generator album and most of what’s been released under the Yes name since.

[up] …That strange feeling when you check up a song (TRSOG) to see how bad it is and end up loving it. >.> Although mostly the parts without vocals. Thanks for the "suggestions". tongue

Not a "band", but I tend to not really like Shikata Akiko's more J-pop-y stuff as much, especially "Amnesia" on Harmonia. The verses are tolerable, but the instrumentation of the chorus is just irritating. The only stain on an otherwise flawless album.

In the rock department, A7X's "Critical Acclaim". Musically it's fine but the lyrics are just... ugh. Cringe-worthy, if not downright offensive. Especially those spoken rants. It was the Bush era alright.

Everything off One More Light by Linkin Park. Barely there guitars, near-zero rapping, and overall sounds like a poor man's Chainsmokers album. I can handle LP being different, but this was just plain selling out.

Anything off of the studio portion of Ummagumma would count. I'd also say "Unforgiving Girl (She's Not An)" by Car Seat Headrest and "California" by Grimes for being too sugary for my tastes (and also for both having shitty vocal performances).

Yeah, just listened to that on Spotify, and while Talking to Myself and Battle Symphony were good pop songs for what they were, the rest was just dire, even for a pop album. While we're on the subject of nu-metal, even though I love Disturbed, a lot of "The Sickness" is hard to listen to, "Stupify" in paticular.

Honestly, not a big fan of much of anything on Zac Brown Band's new album. It's ten sparsely produced ballads, and they all blend together. Some of the songs are good individually, but as an album, it's just monotone. It feels like they took the backlash from the Genre Roulette of their last album, and pushed things way too far in the other direction. Nothing at all even has a pulse.

I really don't like "Tonight" by Clipping. I think it's probably one of the weakest song on their self-titled album.

I can't really stand "Do You Want to Know a Secret" by the Beatles. They are my favorite band of all time for sure, and while I generally prefer the latter half of their stuff (so I'm sorta automatically biased towards early Beatles I think), I still have plenty of early songs I like (Their cover of Twist and Shout, I Saw Her Standing There, I Want To Hold Your Hand, most of A Hard Day's Night, and more), there's some early stuff I just can't listen to, and Do You Want to Know a Secret is one of them.

Can't remember if I've already mentioned it, but "Already Gone" is one of the very few Eagles songs that I really don't care for...there's just something about the chorus that annoys me.

By my fav bands:

Rush: "Rivendell" (Very sleepy and repetitive), "Vital Signs", "New World Man", "Distant Early Warning" (All bland reggae stuff), "Time Stand Still" (Too sugary/cheesy), "Lock and Key" (Bland '80s pop), "Available Light" (Really bores me)

Queen: "Jesus" (Failed attempt at Christian rock), "Bring Back That Leroy Brown" (Too sugary), "Misfire" (Just doesn't stick out for me), "She Makes Me" (Really boring/repetitive), "Seaside Rendezvous", "Good Company" (Both too sugary for my tastes), "We Will Rock You" (Doesn't work as a studio song, was much better live), "Don't Try Suicide" (Sounds like a bad show-tune), "Staying Power" (Awful attempt at disco, got much better live), "Cool Cat" (Failed attempt at reggae), "Calling All Girls" (Ridiculously cheesy new wave), "Party" (More awful cheese), "Delilah" (Queen's worst song ever, ridiculous ode to Freddie's cat and the meowing solo is so stupid)

Pink Floyd: "Interstellar Overdrive", "A Saucerful Of Secrets", "Quicksilver", "Party Sequence", "More Blues", all the studio tracks on Ummagumma (Avant-garde stuff which isn't my thing), "The Gnome", "Bike" (Too goofy/ridiculous), "Jugband Blues" (Promising start but descends into noise), "Corporal Clegg" (Good verses but kazoo solos and noise ending ruin it), "Crying Song" (Really boring), "A Spanish Piece" (Fillerish and disposable), "If", "Summer '68" (Both bore me), "Seamus", "San Tropez" (Both are really fillerish/disposable), "Brain Damage/Eclipse" (Not bad but never really grabbed my attention), "Vera" (Filler), "Learning To Fly" (Bland '80s pop from a band who was very far removed from it), "A New Machine" (Fillerish vocal effects)

Led Zeppelin: "Moby Dick" (Not a drum solo guy), "D'yer Maker" (Not cut out for reggae), "The Crunge" (Terrible vocals and arrythmic melody)

Yes: "Five Percent For Nothing", "We Have Heaven", "Cans And Brahms" (Just very fillerish)

The Beatles: "Wild Honey Pie" (Fillerish and disposable), "Revolution 9" (Not a fan of avant-garde), "Rocky Raccoon" (Very boring to me) probably a few other White Album experiments

Queensryche: "Chemical Youth" (Repetitive ending part which never grabbed me)

[up][up]Funny, I really like both "Interstellar Overdrive" (because it has a great opening) and "Bike" (because it's 'A Very British Psychedelia' on its own - kinda like "Arnold Layne").

Interstellar Overdrive's opening is really good, but I don't like the avant-garde jamming in the middle section.

Similarly while I hate Saucerful of Secrets I love the "Celestial Voices" section.

Here are some songs that I dislike from bands that I like:

Black Sabbath: After Forever. I thought it was a very Main/Anvillicous Christian Rock song that is basically them trying to tell the Moral Guardians "Hey were not Satanic because we like the Jesus and stuff!" It's very dumb, but the instrumental was very good, and with different lyrics, this could be a very good track.

Pantera: No Good Attack The Radical. Borderline racist. Basically the moral of the song is "Durr I'm Phil Anselmo and i'm not racist, but I don't like those brown people very much." Extremely skippable. Fuck you Phil Anselmo

Eminem: Ass Like That. Very dumb, and very immature. Em needs to stop with the Triumph the dog impressions. Also, nobody uses the word "pee pee" to symbolize a dick, and "doing doing doing" to symbolize a boner. Thank good he got off of the drugs, so we won't need to worry about anything like this coming back in the future.

As much as I like Helmet, they have a few songs I don't care for.

The Silver Hawaiian-This is filler. Really weird, kinda stupid filler.

Sam Hell-A really bad way to end a great album(Betty).

Honestly, if both of these songs were removed from betty, the album would've been perfect.

[up] I do kind of like Ass like that. It's a guilty pressure of mine. I also like the Pantera track, although I feel that it's not my favorite on VDOP.

After giving a listen to Iron Maiden, I finally saw why Virtual XI is considered their worst album. Granted, there are a couple of redeemable songs (I liked "The Clansman", "Lightning Strikes Twice" and "Futureal"), but "The Angel and the Gambler" is easily the worst song ever. Monotonous as hell, I wonder how Steve Harris could ever go that low with that song...
